Metals change course

摘要

Metals, both precious and base, say a lot about the direction of the global economy. They are the foundation of economic growth, and gold-besides being used as a currency and store of value-is the original fear gauge. Crises, quantitative easing and global macroeconomics all affect the metals market. Knowing what fundamental drivers move these markets helps metals traders anticipate where they should be priced today and in the coming years.
